This film opens our eyes to what it really is like in the poorer parts of America, along with the fact of gangs which are becoming more of a problem in England at the moment. The film has a strong impact on you, an original chick flick. The story line is original and makes you think about what you really have. An amazing film - the acting is quite good but poor parts at the beginning and end of the film. Some of the characters are easy to relate with and others there arent. Some funny parts and sad parts - especially when an orignal character gets killed which brings us to a relaisation of what America is really like where everything isnt as good as it seems. A brilliant film for a girly night in.
